First published in 1910, this study in social evolution from the
13th to the 16th century functioned as a successor to Jacob
Burckhardt's The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy (1860).
The author developed Burckhardt's idea of studying continuous
trends over time whilst challenging his idea that Early Modern
women enjoyed extraordinary freedom in comparison to their Medieval
predecessors. Boulting contrasts the idealization of women with
real women at home and in life, portraying women as expanding from
protective bondage due to economic progress alongside what
contemporary scholars saw as the degeneration of the Catholic Faith
during and following the Counter Reformation. He explores various
roles of Renaissance women including maidens, married women,
housewives, motherhood, widowhood, styles of dress, nuns, saints,
courtesans and academics. In doing so, Boulting hoped to
demonstrate how very substantial yet how wholly partial the
emergence of women was during this Late Medieval and Early Modern
period and that this coincided with the complete amelioration of
humanity and an increase in kindliness and sense of duty among both
men and women.
